Profitable nature of ocean borne trade has led into rising of commodities transport around the globe through shipping industry. This increase has also resulted into further influx of contaminants into the marine environment, affecting coastline societies as well as marine sea life. In the direction of minimising shipping industry’s contribution of marine environment pollution, various Conventions have been signed and regulations have been produced, setting appropriate legal framework and minimum standards for the maritime safety, prevention and control of marine pollution derived from vessels.
Purpose of this essay is to highlight actions taken by International Maritime Organisation for the sake of not only to produce regulations, but also to embody prevailing legal framework into company’s policies, which can enable smoother incorporation of the same enhancing implementation monitoring.
